Ayurvedic Treatment for Infertility

According to Ayurveda, when the digesting capacity of a person is out of balance (an imbalance with agni), ama is produced and may be a cause of different diseases; therefore, the treatment of ama requires balancing agni by using different ayurvedic formulations that promote digestion, following a meal schedule that is right for the individual, and abiding by a healthy lifestyle. Panchakarma treatments in Ayurveda help remove ama, as well as balancing agni, thereby promoting healthy ojus.

Infertility is often linked with the vata dosha in Ayurveda and thus, treatment for infertility should include satiating vata functions (vatanulomana) through Ayurvedic formulations, physical exercise, and a scheduled diet. It uses personalized herbal remedies, Panchakarma therapies, diet, yoga, and lifestyle changes as a holistic, natural fertility treatment, often complementing conventional care at Purshveda Ayurvedic Clinic.

Detoxification (sodhana) occurs after receiving a suitable degree of oleation (sneha sweda). Among the methods used to detoxify that may include vamana (emesis), virechana (purgation), vasti (medicated enema), and uttaravasti (special enema) that will be recommended based on the patient’s condition.

Once the detoxification has completed, the patient is required to follow a specific dietary regimen to assist in the removal of any remaining toxins and/or helping in the correction of the issues with the ovaries, tubes, or uterus due to infertility problems. Ayurvedic infertility treatment will help to relieve tension, remove impurities, enhance the physical body, rejuvenate the mind, and strengthen the immune system. Natural fertility treatment are helpful in lessening stress, enhancing all cells/tissues in the body, and balancing vata.

Why Lifestyle matters

Lifestyle factors impact Male and Female’s reproductive health so there are lifestyle causes of infertility. This has been supported through both research and clinical recommendations. Factors such as managing weight, getting enough sleep, managing stress, avoiding smoking, limiting alcohol consumption, eating a healthier diet and limiting exposure to toxins are all considered to improve fertility potential. In men, having a healthy lifestyle will help to improve sperm count, sperm motility, and balance hormone; and in women, will help with ovulation, egg quality and regularity of menstrual cycles. Even with a small change over time, when done consistently can lead to improved natural fertility.
